2 shot at gang funeral: 'This is crazy' - chicagotribune.com...

A 'banger shoved in the hole, but one wasn't enough ... so they went after a couple more.

Let 'em all shoot/knife each other to pieces. It'll save us the trouble.

Illogic 101: Which of the IL elected reps actually believes the felons don't know that it's unlawful for felons to have guns, that felons don't know that murder's disallowed, or that criminalizing carrying by citizens stops a single criminal from carrying? (That's a rhetorical question, of course.)

This isn't the first funeral shot up by lowlifes and I'm sure it won't be the last. It will never go away as long as gangs of thugs believe they have to do things like this to gain respect from others. Sigh

There were probably few law abiding citizens there anyway, save the pastor. But when will Chicago learn that guns ain't the problem. If every gun in the entire world evaporated into thin air... Chicago thugs would still kill each other.

^^^ So very true. I live near Chicago and the media is ignoring the immense amount of violence in the inner city, primarily the African American community. Let me pose this politically incorrect question: If over 500 white kids were being gunned down EVERY YEAR don't you think there would be an uproar? The politicians and the community ignore the real root of the problem which I believe is the decline of the family to where it is the overwhelming exception, rather than the rule, that these bangers have fathers in the home when they are growing up. They are "raised" by other bangers, not by men. Teenage mothers, drugs, gangs, crime, lack of desire for education, hand out for more from the government - that is the culture. The politicos don't have the guts to state the obvious so they blame guns. That's why they have imposed a $25 tax on any new firearm purchased in Cook County to "pay" for the monetary loss incurred by gun violence. Yeah, that will help (sarcasm).

Sorry for the rant but I am real close to ground zero with regards to this matter and it disgusts me.

Bravo, sir! Despite the political propaganda within Chicago and within the State of Illinois--citizens are coming very near (at the voting booth) to getting the same rights to carry concealed as other states already have. Watch the next few years of elections closely and we may see this tide turn.

100% agree! You can trace almost all the ills of our society right now to the decline of the family and the institution of the Welfare program. LBJ's "War on Poverty" has become a war on society.

“When I came outside, you still can hear shooting. Boom! Boom! Boom! I still ran…people was running behind me,” the longtime CTA employee said not long after the 12:30 p.m. shooting. “You didn’t know which way to go or what to do. All I knew to do was run for my life.”

That is the dumbest thing you can do,I would grab some cover,Identify where the shooters are,and either stay put or E&E away from the shooting trying to keep anything bullet proof between me and any Bullets
